Hi,

Considering that LaTeX does a really good job about text layout and styling, I was very surprised to notice the following issue in the RTL.pdf document.

See attached image. The section numbers and section headings overlap each other in the Contents pages. Can this be fixed, or is it a bug in LaTeX?

Regards,

Probably there is some obscure option to set the width of the indent of the content text.

Like I said, the FPC docs use LaTeX to the fullest...

Actually, according to the LaTeX Companion it is:

The exact problem of the FPC docs is treated on page 51-52 :-)

Can the contents be multi-column like the Delphi/Kylix documentation. This allow for more information being also don't
know if it is needed to have the section numbers in the Contents pages. Surely the Section Names are enough - like is done in the Kylix Language Guide. See attached screenshot.

This is possible, but we don't want to copy the Delphi/Kylix docs :-)
